mycroft-core VS kiauh

It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

Shouldn't this be Mycroft on this sub?

I was expecting this to be about Mycroft the AI assistant ( https://mycroft.ai/ ).

But I would recommend writing some proper glue logic in Python and use the socket function for communication. But if you really want to get rid of Alexa, it's probably worth it to set up mycroft.ai or another open source assistant.

https://mycroft.ai/ is a sophisticated open source replacement for Siri/Alexa … you can buy their premade hardware version for $399

To add home automation, consider something like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai/)

This project reminds me of MyCroft https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.

Tldr either way it depends, but if it's free, your data is prob the real product. If you don't want to get data mined, check out https://mycroft.ai

I just installed Ubuntu server and then used KIAUH to install Klipper. I was up and running in less than 20 minutes.

You can install Ubuntu on any spare laptop/desktop you might have and install Klipper using kiauh. https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh

There are several options for other firmware, the popular ones being Marlin, MRISCOC (“professional firmware” as you see it called around here), and Klipper. Klipper is the gold standard and I highly recommend it. People talk about how difficult it is to install, but it literally takes 15 minutes with KIAUH (an installation script that makes it dummy proof). There are tons of written and video goods online.

2: Download Kiauh

Second download the gcode_shell_command.py the script is currently maintained here, I'm including the Author's warning

Give it a try. It makes things so much easier. Follow the instructions on https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh from the section "Download and use KIAUH". Then start it by: "cd ~/KIAUH & ./KIAUH.sh" There choose install and you should see an option to install crowsnest. If that doesn't work, try either deleting the existing crowsnest directory, or uninstalling it using KIAUH. Whatever works. Then try to install crowsnest again. Let me know if that solves your problem 😊

Use Kiauh to install Klipper, with it you will be able to install Octoprint as well. It's the easiest way to have all set up correctly.

If you don't remember what you did just start over rather than dissecting what your raspi currently runs. Thanks to kiauh installing the whole deal takes like an hour, where 45 min is waiting for the thing to think. One cam should work out of the box, for two or more you need crowsnest iirc, which you can also install through kiauh.
